Thanks Fran for the kind comment, I’m sure all future powered IRM locomotives and railcars will have the same specifications

Under the floodlights -the crew of Hunslet locomotive 102 take a break between shunting duties at the Lakeview freight yard. Love the sound and slow speed control characteristics of the locomotive when shunting.

Nice to see something different for a change -keep up the good work George

Really enjoying the ongoing build and photos -it will be a fitting tribute to your father who I’m sure would be delighted to see Drogheda in miniature form. Well done so far

Spot on-thanks Derek,it’s B188

B188 comes off the fuelling point to work a train to Sligo goods as A1 goes to the fuelling point for a FOW exam, B125 will follow B188 to Sligo goods once it has cleared the section to Sligo

I thought I posted this video…..well here goes ….enjoy the Hunslet hauling the laden fertliser,036 on the ammonia and 018 on the Sligo oil.

Sunday afternoon operations on Ashburton grove.

Both took it in turn to haul each other around-a good run out for the two locomotives.

Seen passing through Tara junction earlier this morning was a class 90/89 locomotive consist. 90005 and 89001.

After complaints by train guards new interior lights were installed into Mk2D gen van 5602.

Preparing for the new school year VHMA bodied SS 783 transferred from Wexford to Tara junction-the first of its type to join the school bus fleet.

The NTA won’t pay for the catering-their idea is that you purchase your supplies prior to departing from your home station and consume on board, In later years there are coffee shops and supermarkets within walking distances of most if not all major stations.

Having received a service-it was time for steam locomotive 403 to perform a load test,so and empty set of Mk2Ds were coupled to the locomotive, Test was successful.

SD70 ACe and a C44 are let loose on Tara junction
